Samba olé! Start of hot-dip galvanizing in Sao Paulo

Magnificently decorated dancers moving rhythmically to fiery samba sounds were nowhere to be seen – but it still got extremely hot on 5th May 2015 in Artur Noguiera, Brazil.

Steel comes together with liquid zinc at 450 degrees. With the first order from a Brazilian greenhouse vendor, the starting shot was symbolically fired for hot-dip galvanizing at our new ZINKPOWER São Paulo site. With a population of 20.5 million, the São Paulo metropolitan area is the most important economic and financial centre in Brazil and one of the ten largest industrial areas in the world.

The 13-metre-long galvanizing kettle is at the heart of the plant, enabling ZINKPOWER to be well prepared to meet customers' requests and requirements. The entire plant technology was designed and built by our own dedicated engineering team, as the Group’s standards apply worldwide
